the good to go beyond the all yes i as we take on the world, i do all the fears were all about the stories that matter to you. whatever it takes by policemen follow. i do go here. we are, your is actually on fire made for mines. ah, ah, welcome to global 3, thousands stacks of cash. what's with the global trade in

recycling? tricky business. how one entrepreneur in peru keeps on tracking despite the crisis . and scant wages in sri lanka, people are struggling to cope with exploding prices. anyone wanting to buy fuel or food and sri lanka needs a lot of time and money. the country is in the midst of its worst economic crisis since independence in 1948 more than a 3rd of the population is coping with food insecurity. the corona virus pandemic and the global consequences of russia's war on ukraine have made the situation worse. but the biggest problems are home grown, poor governmental decisions have increased the national debt and caused foreign currency reserves to dwindle, pushing the country to the brink of insolvency. together with you n t v. we met people there who are nonetheless,

trying hard not to lose hope. but really, melinda, actually we work even when it rains. and while the leeches are cumberland phenomena, margarita, the gal that i will, we only eat vegetables and greens, better luck, we are going through a very hard time. now, gamma has been picking tea here for 23 years. she's one of millions of sterling kens in the grip of the country's worst cost of living crisis in generations. the views are spectacular from the brand new lotus tower in colombo, but elsewhere, vital infrastructure projects have been put on hold for lack of funds. far away from the capital, financial turmoil threatens negotiates future to atlanta and he work hard so we can

try to live well. but after being comfortable for a short time, life became very tough. i said, when things are like that, you lose your hopes and dreams that things will improve your commodity. early morning at bluefield t estate, and now gamer is busy getting ready for work. husband . hi drew's is making lunch. the stove with out of gas. so a small fire will have to do 9 people live in this work as cottage

and really in that identity, our house is actually 2 units combined. i mean, after our daughters are married, we had to give them one part of the house. so we live on the other side and little ridley hall, i'm gonna before no gamma goes to work. she wraps up against the rain. when she and her daughter, her renisha are ready. they set off together for an 8 hour shift. they own $3.00 at best. picking t isn't as easy as it may seem that this is the type of shoot that should be left and i would so it can be plucked next time. these types of leads should be removed and that these should be thrown away, if not, new ones won't grow as an a gamma gathers handfuls of leaves.

hey drews, heads out to his disability pension isn't enough to support the family. so he has no option but to work what that, what do you mean the novel, it's not like before i have a family to look after. now i have 4 kids that say that the price of everything has gone up. we have to be very cautious about managing our expenses. at the factory, it's weighing in time. happy to be out of the rain at last. now gamma and her co workers can go for lunch and to sit down all around them. the tea making process never stops. it hasn't changed in a 100 years. here. as for these ancient machines,

the know how to run them is handed down through the generations. in better times, the factory employed 250 people. but because of the crisis, a 100 have been let go. no wonder workers and employers alike, worry about what the crisis will mean for them. bernoulli can breeze on until one fight. i don't. but our last monday we're views are on one on for me. so it's a huge difference because of the fear problem. and so did your for, for the lazy and the long term of pocket's. first, on the evening news, the president himself pledge is that no one is going to starve. it's the frightening new normal insur lanka. still reeling from the political turmoil that followed emergencies, including cove, it and the country's 1st ever debt default. some have been spared serious

financial hardship and they can enjoy a day out. but to day, millions of sir lincoln's are more vulnerable than ever because of their reversal of fortunes. just like these market traders in the capital, sugar is expensive, milk powder is expensive, tear is expensive. no one has happened. we used to sell for 200 rupees or 300 rupees. now when we mentioned the price, people are gone. well, i mean, after another hard day. now gamma has some shopping to do before she can go home to dry off. as prices rise, there's not a lot to go around, especially for the gama. she won't give up. she has no choice. latino livers. hello. another thing along the way. it is because of the higher expenses that our lives are getting worse out of the cost of living keeps raising

day by day. we can't even afford biscuits and other snacks for the little ones saying right now we don't see how we can improve our lives until things get better . we only focused on battling with these hard times. rocketing prices are a big issue in peru too many years of drought have led to food shortages. the u. n's food at agriculture organization estimates that more than half the population is already affected and the country is now in political crisis to. for days there have been wide spread demonstrations. for many here, survival is about seeking opportunities and staying flexible. the war in ukraine is far away from the pacific coast of peru, but soaring prices from disrupted. trade are hitting peruvians close to home.

ricardo runs a medium sized transport company. he likes to drive and enjoy the solitude behind the wheel. the beginning i'm you know, so when i was little, i wanted to have my truck, my young truck because my parents didn't have the means that i used to see you when i grow up and start working, i will have a truck and my dream came true regular right michael grocery. hello. his business started with a single 2nd hand truck today. ricardo's fleet can't 17. but only 10 vehicles have been running since cove it and the economic crisis that followed were luxury vehicles because of the crises? i don't have claims anymore. i don't have as much freight as i used to. we used to load one or 2 trucks a day, and now it's just 2 or 3 trucks. a week of they come in is alizay mother. the cost of living crisis has sparked violent protests in the country. intensifying the

political turmoil for entrepreneurs like ricardo carrying on is proving difficult. soaring price is at the petrol station are pushing the cost of his services out of customers, reach many have gone bankrupt and with a 3rd of his activity gone, the 52 year old has to take difficult decisions out of his full branches. he's had to shut down to 17 people have lost their job's. look in my middle, when heard me the most was to let go of the people i had work with my staff, those i've been working with both my drivers and loaders. i had to fire them, so it was painful. it saddens me because i worked with them local, they were family way of a meal. record of used to transport mainly hardware and paint, to clients in remote areas of the country. such as this cargo being loaded for his

most loyal customers. in the peruvian amazon, the $900.00 leaches of fuel needed to cover the 84 hour drive housed at 50 percent more than before the start of the war in ukraine. with the slow down of his activity, his profits have shrunk as half his plans. i thought about buying buses, but that dream is now gone. he thought there are other dreams too that ricardo has put on hold. glad august. the alarm is on the good. he said, if my level of income had remained the same one, my ambition was at least to send my children to study, not here in peru, but the road better or send them to a good university. oh no, no. it only was either. instead, his eldest son, joan, is now joining the family business as rising fuel prices make the evening headlines. ricardo and his family worry about keeping the activity

afloat. but he is used to taking adversity in his stride. and he's found new opportunities by turning to the markets, the wholesale food market. oh, here the peruvian food bank collects unsold, produce, and the world food program, highest trucking companies, through public tenders to deliver it to the most vulnerable. it's a lifeline for the cities poor, but also for ricardo's business. when, oh your, it was already in the wyoming that i'm surviving. mostly because i always responded to public tender. so there is a little more earnings. there was, if it wasn't for the tender that i already have with the state, well, i would have already shallow uses around here and there was everything. ricardo says the contracts allow him to keep afloat, as he can at least pay his staff and overhead expenses while doing some good for

people in need. like ensuring else, one of the folk, shrouded, and dusty townships of lima to day ricardo brings vegetables. this is a highly anticipated delivery for jenny, who runs one of tiriel, says soup kitchens and serves about a 100 meals a day. here as elsewhere, poor families are struggling to make ends meet and they have to make hard choices to provide for their children. between education, a home and proper food. jenny knows very well what they are going through and what they need to get by this. we went over that with you about. it is a nutritious meal. we do not just give anything. we give a very good meal to the neighbors. it allows them to help themselves. they must pay for electricity, internet children, that score bust tickets every day. so this allows them to save

a little for other needs with union legacy that jenny now provides food for taxi drivers who have lost their income because of the high fuel prices. but the cost of delivering food to her soup kitchen is also on the rise. and they have been before a treat on truck would charge me $150.00 salis. but now they charge me $270.00. they even ask for 400. i have to haggle over prices, look everywhere for the cheapest at ricardo. and john said a little on their way back from the soup kitchen. they both appreciate that they are well off and can still enjoy that most precious of things. hope for even all the morning. we still have hope that my son john also choose me up a lot as he says that let's move on. if he can't make the company grow any more, i'll be the future if i yielded him. a new day begins and

soon a new life. ricardo's 5th child is on the way another milestone. in his long journey. tooth brushes, bottles, computer chas, sees aircraft parts closing. plastic is everywhere and more and more of it is being produced in 2019 alone just under 460000000 tons of it. worldwide in fact, and the majority of it ends up is plastic trash. less than 10 percent of it is recycled worldwide. most is burned, ends up in a landfill or somewhere out in nature in rivers and oceans. before that though, there's cash to be made from plastic waste around the globe. these containers sitting in a port in manila, almost triggered a war. they were full of garbage including used adult diapers. and the philippines

refused to let them into the country. president rodrigo, do territory just told you know that he has one week or its war after rotting in the sun for nearly 6 years. canada finally took its west back and bonded it. men headlines everywhere and revealed the dark underbelly of the globe. plastic waste network. it's life with corruption run by private traders and fly by night establishments and interpol found that it could be worse. we often find the same names linked to other crimes. money laundering, tax evasion, fraud. it's all the same criminals and the currency driving it all. is plastics, crap. i want to find out more about what's going on. but everybody on speaking do seems to be answering in court. so how does the global plastic waste rate even work? and how can we get out of this mess and good china?

by the ninety's, china was becoming the world's manufacturer every day, shipping containers carrying all sorts of products with journey to the us in europe . but when they returned empty, they became a serious financial opportunity. the west consumed. oh, collected the twist and ship it out of sight to china. china recycled? what had good and sent back new products for more consumption. and this cycle was on repeat. and it was dirt cheap, for example, one u. s. trader told me that even in 2010 what it costs around $85.00 to dispose of a ton of waste domestically and costly. 35 to ship done on the china. could there be, as we did the usually when low grade are contaminated, plastic was sent to china. either cheap labor was needed, assorted. i'd had to be dumped and burned within a few years. several chinese towns near landfills and innovations, side salad,

complaining of polluted air. and water. cancer rates rose so by 2018 china had had enough effectively banned all plastic waste inputs. and the world had lost as number one recycle. but china was per bed. the recycling industry was established and the country was now producing enough waste domesticated supply. its own draw materials for recycling. so boston, the rest of the world was scrambling. some waste was burnt within the country's, but shipments of garbage still needed to find new destinations. and they found them soon enough in countries coasted china lake militia, individual pilot. hank jane is a camp dana, with greenpeace, and militia, the country that became the leading and border at the dime. green fees along with citizens and governments of some southeast asian countries are now demanding that the west stop using them as the waste dumps of the world. especially the rich,

richer country or gifts. lots of ways i mentor it to the global soccer and end of quarter shipping the problem to globally. but he also, it all got really lucky you consciously cycle eddie? lastly, nic and griggs that you can tell by looking at the bottom of the container and each grade needs to be recycled on his own in a specific reciting plans. it only makes sense to recycle hydrate, plastic life, a shampoo bottle or a detergent container. because what comes out on the, on the side still has value, but things like styrofoam that food comes in can never be recycle. which means that only amused once mrs. you know, let's say a container full of plastic. you, honey grossman, looks into corruption and environmental related businesses around the world. the government is going to pay, you know, $1000.00. i'm just making the groups to recycle it. and then the company says, okay, we're not actually going to recycle it. so we're going to keep a $1000.00,

and then we're going to spend $500.00 to send the container. we're going to need somebody $1000.00 in indonesia to make it disappear. and then we'd still have to have $1000.00 profit that something like that. and companies in asian countries are willing to take the plastic in local waste collection is much less developed here. and so clean plastic can be used to feed the upcoming recycling industries. but here's where laws can be broken. the massive convention is international treaty that stipulates which plastics can and can't be traded. it says for example, that contaminated a low grade, plastics need special permission from the receiving countries, governments before they can be shipped. but independent investigators found that plastic tree does have discovered ways to bypass this 1st, where shipment can be mislabeled and passed through customs techs in the west. and then companies and developing countries who offer to take in low grade or unsorted

plastic, find ways to smuggle it back to local authorities. even if checks take place they can be evaded. and so the most obvious when which corruption comes into play is to bribe officials to allow you to import that west. once aloud into the country, traders, me to find a way to make money from the bad plastic investigators found unsuitable disposal, including into rivers, landfills and plantations, along with cheap labor to be the main modus operandi. so basically the same things that happen in china, but there's even more criminal energy in this the criminals are relying money laundering techniques, and this typically would take the form of a legal waste company that would engage in both legal and illegal trades and then mix the payments across these 2 business lines. i also had foundation has investigated the role of money laundering at tax fraud across the waste trade industry. proceeds from the illegal ways trade could be up to $12000000000.00

annually. amber waste trafficking, many of the profits remained. and the exporting countries with importing countries only generating part of the profits from resale or re use of certain waste from 2021. the basel convention toughened regulations, more types of plastic were banned. but environmental se the still doesn't go far enough if we leave the door slightly open, some one won't go straight. back on domains group fights for environmental justice . in november 2021 in the lobby, the german government to halt waste exports to vietnam. on average, a boston and germany generates up to 2 kilograms of trash body. so can the european union div with its own waste output you? it's supposed to have the best voice,

my natural infrastructure in the world. and notice shipping to countries where the waste management structure is not so dropped if we don't have the countries to which we ship, it definitely do not have his groups as western countries have to develop their own recycling systems like china did the demand for some high grade recycled plastic has been soaring lately, even beating virgin plastic out of the competition. in some cases. as more asian countries clamped down or ban imports, the big question is where will all the plastic go in the future? so what can be done 1st, why deleting policies and stricter enforcement and western countries have to invest in their own recycling industries to clean up their own mess but to treat all that waste domestically, the thing that needs to be cut down at the source is the amount of plastic we produce consume and throw it away in the west.
